The tranquil fishing excursion of an angler on the Pacific Ocean faced a sudden disruption when a hungry seal sought to snag the day’s catch.
A man, whose identity remains undisclosed, seemed to be relishing a fishing day with friends on a group of kayaks when he found himself with some uninvited company.
Shortly after he playfully mocked his friend for not catching any fish, karma struck as a seal began to assault the side of his kayak.
In response to repeated shouts of ‘What are you doing?’, the marine creature paid little heed to his urgent calls as it weaved and maneuvered around the kayak.
Reaching the front of the kayak, the seal then leaped from the water in a bid to board the vessel, much to the delight of the fisherman’s companions.
After numerous splashes and unsuccessful attempts at entry, the tenacious mammal finally succeeded in boarding, making a beeline for the fish caught earlier in the day resting on the deck.
Attempting to clarify the bizarre situation, the somewhat flustered cameraman could be heard remarking: ‘I think he’s blind.’
He continued, ‘He’s starving. I believe he wants my fish. He’s linking humans with food and is after my meal.
‘Here I am out in the Pacific Ocean, catching fish, and then along comes …’ just as the intrusive seal jumps on board again.
Ultimately, the fisherman develops a fondness for the seal and offers it a fish, which the creature eagerly devours while lounging at the front of the canoe.
It appears that in the end, he got exactly what he was after.
